<p>How are the girls? (are there any girls in chemical engineering)
How are the boys?
How are the profs?</p>
<p>I realize chemical engineering at U of M is big, so I know there are some smart people. I just visited my aunt in Georgia and decided to stop at Georgia Tech and visit the chemistry department. There was basically no life at that school. I was wondering if U of M is similar.</p>
<p>How are the girls? I have only met one girl who was ChemE, 6/10 if that is what you are asking. Shes changing majors though because its hard.
How are the boys? Know a couple, but most are changing majors lol.
How are the profs? All of my professors have been fine so far.</p>
<p>Life wise- It is dangerous to not commit a certain amount of time to your courses. Math and chemistry were a breeze for me and I didn’t spend much time on them, however physics is a real time black hole. Watch out for sophomore fall classes. If you can keep up on chapters/homework plenty of time. I had something going on everyday, just have to get involved.</p>
<p>College is what you make it</p>
<p>I will be a sophomore in the honors ChE track next year. Technically i’m not in the major yet, because i’m not a junior, but i take classes with the people and professors you’re curious about. </p>
<p>THe girls… eh. You’ll have some classes (especially lower division) with Civil, mechanical, electrical, engineering majors, as well as comp sci and math majors. Granted these are all guy-heavy majors, but there are a few girls. Just get your homework done so you can go out on the weekends. YOu’ll meet girls in Lib Eds too… the only thing they’re good for lol. </p>
<p>The guys… most are really swell. You’ll get a couple that are really really competitive, and that’s a tad annoying, but it pushes you to work harder too. These kids are NOTHING compared to the pre-med students you’ll encounter in O-chem though. Good luck with that. Physics is the toughest class you’ll take… chem and calc should be a review depending on AP, and where you place in all those. That being said, they’re all graded on a curve and honestly if you pull out a 70 on every physics test you’ll get an A. Make friends and make a study group. PHysics alone is hard and no fun.</p>
<p>The profs are alright. I mean, they’re busy guys but a lot of them will take the time to talk to you and hang out if you approach them (especially marshak in physics). You can get a lot of detail on ratemyprofessor.com. Again, Freshman year I was in mostly honors classes and those were a little bit smaller, but the physics 1302 I took was 260 people, not honors, and it was a good class.</p>
<p>All in all, I have a life… A good one. I skip classes occasionally, I go out on thursdays occasionally, I have great weeeknds, but during the week it’s pretty much balls to the wall until 9 or 10. You will figure out which classes you’ll need to budget time for and how to make room for what’s important. After all, college is not just a time to learn, but a time to grow as well.</p>
